        <p>A famous weapon of Scottish origin. This blade requires a very strong person to wield&#x2014;even two handed, but deals impressive damage to match. Claymores generally have a blade 5..6 feet long. The long reach of the claymore makes it effective for engaging multiple targets at once.</p>

        <p>The famous weapon of the Samurai warrior. The Katana is a long sword worn alongside a Wakizashi (matching short sword). The blade has a cutting edge around 24..28 inches in length, and is shaped to be a natural extension of the warrior's arm. Like the Wakizashi, the superior edge of this weapon makes it fearsome in combat. A true Katana wielded by a skilled warrior can cut through a steel pipe or a large wooden post in single swing.</p>
